Hello all

A bullett of my Beretta 9 short has one power of 50
kg. only concentrated on the impact point with then
the other consequences to the impact. I have made
several tests with bulletts cal.4.5 for compressed air
guns and also to distances of beyond 100 meters, the
impact on a wood table leaves always a beautiful sign.
This child has not carried no lesion to the foot after
to have been hit from the "meteorite"? Ok, we have the
example of the child in Uganda that has been hit from
a small fragment of the Mbale, but was of single 3
grams and its fall had been refrained from the leaves
of the trees. And then one looks at clearly that this
is one slag from fusion.
Regards

Matteo
